From our “friends” the Saudis comes a very non-traditional meal: camel stuffed with lamb which is stuffed with chickens which are stuffed with hard-boiled eggs. I think even John Madden might give this one a pass.

I can’t wait for the DVD of Alexander. Based on a survey of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, it could genuinely be worse than Battlefield Earth. We’re talking Colin Farrell spending 3 hours alternately crying and (literally!) limping his wrists, all while speaking in the thickest Irish accent in ancient Greece. (He’s topped only by Angelina Jolie, playing his mother, who apparently thought she was pursuing moose and squirrel, based on the accent). And best of all, the whole thing is apparently intended as a giant slam on The Bushitler™. I smell pure comedy gold. (What? It’s intended to be serious? Get out!)
